In the thrilling world of American football, the New Orleans Saints have been making headlines with their explosive offensive performances. Hanging 47 points on the Panthers in the Superdome was certainly impressive, but dropping 44 on the Cowboys in their own building? Now that is something to write home about.
“This also is: The 2024 Saints have scored 91 points in their first two games. That’s the most points any team has scored in the first two games of a season since the 2009 Saints, who scored 93,” said a source close to the team.
The 91 points scored by the ’24 Saints puts them in elite company, matching the 1971 Cowboys for fourth on the all-time points-scored-in-the-first-two-games list. Only the 1968 Raiders, the 2009 Saints, and the 1920 Rock Island Independents had more points in their first two games.
But the Saints aren’t just making noise in the early part of the season. They are proving themselves as a force to be reckoned with, becoming only the third team since 1970 to score 44 or more points in three straight regular-season games. This impressive streak dates back to the end of the 2023 season when the Saints finished by scoring 48 points. The only other teams to achieve this feat were the 2018 Saints and the 2007 Patriots.
“It’s great news for a team that has been mired in a funk since the departure of Sean Payton. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has given the offense a kick in the ass, and quarterback Derek Carr is playing as well as he ever has,” commented a football analyst.
While it is still early in the season, the Saints are showing early signs of a potential Super Bowl-caliber team. And with the big game set to be held in New Orleans this year, the franchise has the added motivation to make a deep playoff run and potentially bring the championship home.
So watch out, football fans. The Saints are on a mission, and they aren’t looking to slow down anytime soon. Get ready for a high-scoring, action-packed season as the New Orleans Saints aim for greatness on the gridiron.
